Abstract

This award is being made in support of urgent research costs to enable sampling amongst UK COVID-19 cases. This is essential in developing diagnostics, therapeutics (monoclonal antibodies) and understanding the pathogen and the natural history of the disease, as well as developing rapid prognostic tools. This funding support will ensure samples are distributed safely to researchers. Research could change the course of the rapidly spreading outbreak.
